On Thursday night in Mirpur, the Bangladesh Premier League Final will be played between Comilla Victorians, the league’s current champions, and Sylhet Strikers, the group’s top team. Tuesday’s qualifiers saw the Strikers upset Rangpur Riders in Qualifier 2 after the Victorians defeated the Strikers in Qualifier 1. Follow along as we preview this matchup. Then, at 19:00 local time, the game gets underway at the Sher-e-Bangla National Cricket Stadium.
Since the tournament’s Match 11, the Comilla Victorians have not dropped a game. They handily defeated the Strikers in their prior encounter, and they will be confident in successfully defending their trophy in this game.
Despite having a patchy season, Sylhet Strikers had enough talent to defeat Rangpur Riders on Tuesday in a close match. However, if they prevail in this final, they must perform at their highest level.

Comilla Victorians are the favourite to win this match.
The 2022–23 Bangladesh Premier League concludes with a championship match between the top two teams from the group stage after 45 tightly contested games. We anticipate this final to be a very close game because Comilla Victorians and Sylhet Strikers finished the group stage with nine wins and three losses. While Rubel Hossain and Luke Wood are a welcome addition to the Sylhet Strikers’ bowling attack, we anticipate high run rates from both of them. As a result, we expect Comilla Victorians to win the championship game for the second time in a row.
